Chapter 541: Luoyang
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Zhu Kun's bow woke up everyone present, Wu Han, Geng Yi, Jia Fu, Feng Yi, Zhu You and others all adjusted their whole body armor, and then knelt on the ground together, kowtowed forward, and said in unison: "Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty!" ”
Sitting in the palace and sitting on the throne of the palace, Liu Xiu felt that he had really ascended the throne and become the emperor, and had really become the son of heaven.
For a while, his heart was surging, his blood was boiling, and he said in a loud voice: "Announce the world, the capital is Luoyang!" ”
Liu Xiu back then, I'm afraid he didn't expect that Liu Xuan appointed him as the captain of Sili and sent him to Luoyang to build a palace, but in the end, the person who really entered this palace became himself.
Liu Xiu is tantamount to building a palace for himself.
After walking around, he seems to be back to square one, but his identity has changed dramatically.
At the beginning, he was just a lieutenant who lost the protection of his eldest brother, was ostracized by Liu Xuan, and was sent by Liu Xuan to Luoyang to repair the palace to show humiliation, and now, he is the son of heaven and another founding emperor who continued the Han Dynasty.
Hearing that Liu Xiuding was the capital of Luoyang, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then they all bowed forward and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”
Now Chang'an is still under the control of the Red Eyebrow Army, and it is impossible for him to make Chang'an the capital of his own side.
Since it is impossible to determine the capital of Chang'an, then Luoyang, as the accompanying capital, is naturally the first choice of the other side, and Luoyang even has a ready-made palace, and the capital is in Luoyang, which can save a lot of money for itself.
Liu Xiuding's capital Luoyang officially opened the prelude to the vigorous Eastern Han Dynasty. Liu Xiuneng became the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which has to be said to be the will of heaven and the creation of people.
If Liu Xiu's eldest brother had not been killed, if Liu Xiu was still alive, then the throne would not have been Liu Xiu's turn to sit in any case, then in Chinese history, there would be no Eastern Han Dynasty, and there would not be the magnificent Three Kingdoms era later.
Regarding the mysterious assassin who appeared in Luoyang, Long Yuan, Zhu Kun, and Jia Fu all went to investigate in detail, but unfortunately no one had a clue.
Even those Assassins who were captured alive were poisoned to death, not after they were captured, but before they were assassinated.
It's just that the poison they take is wrapped in wax skin, and the poison will not attack immediately in the body, and the poison will not start to attack until the gastric juice gradually melts away the wax skin.
On the second day after Liu Xiu stayed in the Luoyang Palace, Long Yuan came to report that Hua Feiyan, the pavilion master of Yunxi Pavilion, asked to see him.
Although Hua Feiyan has already taken refuge in Liu Xiu, she has not appeared in front of Liu Xiu many times.
This time Hua Feiyan came to see him in person, so there must be something important.
Liu Xiu met Hua Feiyan at the Yuntai of the palace. Hua Feiyan was still the same, veiled, and entered from the outside, and after seeing Liu Xiu, he took off his veil, knelt on the ground to salute, and said, "My subordinates meet Your Majesty!" ”
"Non-smoking girl, please get up!" Liu Xiu waved at her.
Liu Xiu and Hua Feiyan really don't know each other very well, strictly speaking, the two have met twice.
The first time they met, Hua Feiyan said that Yunxi Pavilion was willing to be loyal to Liu Xiu, and the second time they met, when Liu Xiu was the emperor in Gaoyi, Hua Feiyan went to congratulate him, and only showed one side, and left after offering a congratulatory gift.
This is the third time the two of them have met.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hua Feiyan got up, and sat down in the seat next to him at Liu Xiu's signal. She said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have gone to check the corpse of the assassin. ”
Liu Xiu's heart moved, it turned out that Hua Feiyan came for this matter. Liu Xiu said: "According to the assassin's confession, they were all Li Yi's disciples before his death. ”
This is just an assassin's statement, and obviously, this statement is not true, the reason why Liu Xiu said this to Hua Feiyan is just to show that his side has not found out anything, and it also seems that his side is too incompetent.
When Hua Feiyan heard this, he said bluntly: "Your Majesty, the assassin did not tell the truth. ”
"Oh?"
Seeing Liu Xiu looking at him intently, Hua Feiyan took out a roll of silk cloth and handed it to Liu Xiu.
An attendant stepped forward, took the silk cloth, and sent it to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu took it and took a look, and there was a 'three' word written on the silk cloth.
Liu Xiu looked at it, put down the silk cloth, looked at Hua Feiyan in puzzlement, and asked, "Feiyan girl, what does this mean?" ”
"These assassins all have 'three' tattoos on their bodies." As he spoke, Hua Feiyan looked at Long Yuan, who was standing aside. The latter bowed to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, it is true. ”
Liu Xiu asked suspiciously, "What is the meaning of this 'three'?" ”
Hua Feiyan said: "As far as my subordinates know, only one sect will be like this for the dead who uses numbers as tattoos. ”
Liu Xiu leaned forward and asked, "What sect?" ”
Hua Feiyan said: "Four." ”
"Four? What the hell is this name? Liu Xiu's face was dazed. Hua Feiyan said: "Why do they have such a strange name as 'Si'A', my subordinates don't know, what my subordinates know is that Si'a has four leaders, one is Ruan Xiu, the second is Tian Xi, the third is Guan Ying, and the fourth is Qi Zhong." All four of them have one
Batch of dead assassins cultivated by themselves, and these dead soldiers have tattoos with four numbers: one, two, three, and four. ”
Liu Xiu is really not familiar with the Jianghu sect, and Long Yuan only knows a little about it, as for what Hua Feiyan is saying now, they all hear it.
Liu Xiu picked up the silk cloth, looked at the word 'three' on it again, and said suspiciously: "I have never heard of Si'a, and in my impression, it seems that I have never had any entanglement with them." ”
Hua Feiyan glanced at Liu Xiu and said: "According to the investigation of his subordinates, Si A has close contacts with Mo Yan, and his subordinates suspect that Mo Yan is very likely to be the real leader of Si A. ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed, if he said so, then everything would make sense.
Today, there are three sons of heaven, one of them is Liu Penzi, who was raised by the Red Eyebrow Army, the second is Sun Shu, the Mugong of Yizhou, who is the emperor in Shu, and the third is Liu Xiu, who is the emperor in Hebei.
Gongsun Shu lives in a corner, shrinking in Shu, basically no longer within the scope of the Central Plains, at present, the real chance to win the Central Plains is either the Red Mei Army forces, or Liu Xiu's forces.
It can be said that after Liu Xuan was deposed, Liu Xiu has become the main enemy and competitor of the Red Eyebrow Army.
And Mo Yan is now the dog-headed military division of the Red Mei Army, using all the forces that can be used to get rid of Liu Xiu, which is the most in line with the interests of the Red Mei Army.
Liu Xiu suddenly realized and muttered: "It turns out that everything is done by the Red Eyebrow Thief Army!" After a pause, he asked, "So, the assassin who assassinated me in Dongying?" Hua Feiyan said: "It is true that he is Li Yi's disciple, but his subordinates speculate that this person is likely to be sent to Li Yi by the Red Eyebrow Army, that is to say, Li Yi is not only secretly fornicating with us, but he is also secretly fornicating with Red Eyebrows.
He was currying favor on both sides, leaving him several ways to retreat! ”
Long Yuan was beside him, bowed down, and whispered: "Your Majesty, this matter is a poor investigation by his subordinates!" ”
Liu Xiu snorted and laughed, laughing angrily. Hua Feiyan's speculation is very much in line with Li Yi's character of being good at speculation. He said in a deep voice: "Li Jiwen, it's really a pity to die!" Hua Feiyan doesn't make any evaluation of Li Yi, she only says the information she has. She said with a solemn face: "Si A is one of the most mysterious assassin sects in the rivers and lakes, it is rumored that they have existed for a long time, and their internal members, most of them are orphans in the land of Yan Zhao, they have been adopted by Si A since they were young, after ten or twenty years of rigorous training, they are not afraid of life and death, and the martial arts are superb dead soldiers, this time they sent more than 50 people to assassinate Your Majesty, before Si A has never been."
There has been such a large-scale operation, it can be seen that Si Ah is ruthless to His Majesty, and it is bound to win! If it doesn't work out this time, the subordinates are worried that they will have a next time! ”
Liu Xiu asked, "So, how do I deal with it?" ”
"This ......" Hua Feiyan lowered his head and was silent.
The members of Si'a are mainly from the land of Yanzhao, that is, Youzhou, Bingzhou and Jizhou, but now their core should no longer be in these places, but by Moyan's side.
As long as Mo Yan is still alive, as long as the Red Eyebrow Army is still there, it will be difficult for his side to kill the assassin organization of Si'a at once.
After being silent for a while, Hua Feiyan said: "Your Majesty is still difficult to touch the root of Si'a, and my subordinates think that Your Majesty should be on guard." ”
Liu Xiu said quietly: "In addition to being on guard, we must also quell the Red Eyebrow Rebellion as soon as possible!" ”
Hua Feiyan leaned over and said, "Your Majesty is wise! "If you want to pacify the Red Mei Army, it is not an easy task, the Red Mei Army not only has a large number of generals, but also has a very strong combat power, in addition, Liu Xiu has too many things to do now, although he is called the emperor based on Youzhou and Jizhou, but the internal is not peaceful
, many people are ready to move, in addition, in Jingzhou and other places that originally belonged to Liu Xuan, Liu Xiu must also be in a hurry to recover, so as not to fall into the hands of others.
Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and asked, "When does the non-smoking girl come to Luoyang this time, when do you plan to leave?" ”
Hua Feiyan said: "If Your Majesty is in need, Feiyan is at your Majesty's disposal at any time." ”
Liu Xiu smiled and said softly: "During this time, let's trouble the non-smoking girl to live in the palace temporarily!" The investigation of the chamberlain and the palace maid still needs a lot of attention from the non-smoking girl! "Such a large palace, the chamberlains and palace maids, as few as thousands, as many as tens of thousands, need to summon so many people into the palace, and they are all people around themselves, among them, once the assassins of the four Ah are mixed in, even if only one or two are mixed in, that
are extremely deadly.
How to identify whether the other party is an assassin of Si'a, or whether it is an assassin of the rivers and lakes, his own people are not very good, and Hua Feiyan is the best candidate for review.
Hua Feiyan was stunned for a moment, then got up, bowed to Liu Xiu, and said, "Subordinates obey!" ”
During the Western Han Dynasty, the rank of the harem was divided into 14 levels, such as queen, Zhaoyi, Jieyu, Ju'e, Fuhua, Chongyi, beauty, and beloved.
When it comes to Liu Xiu, the division of the harem is very simple, with only five levels: queen, noble, beauty, palace person, and maid.
Liu Xiu learned the lessons of the previous dynasty, the harem became bigger, and the dictatorship of foreign relatives led to Wang Mang's usurpation, and he streamlined the harem, the purpose of which was to prevent the occurrence of the dictatorship of foreign relatives.
Hua Feiyan wants to enter the palace, and she can't be nameless and scoreless, so Liu Xiu temporarily named her a beauty. Theoretically speaking, the beauty can be regarded as the concubine of the Son of Heaven, but there is no such relationship between Liu Xiu and Hua Feiyan.
At least Hua Feiyan's current duty is to be fully responsible for all matters related to the recruitment of palace people.
Liu Xiuding was in Luoyang, and the ministers under Liu Xiu's command naturally wanted to arrange their mansions in Luoyang, among which Sima Mansion, Situ Mansion, and Sikong Mansion were lined up, which was located in the southeast corner of the Imperial Palace, adjacent to the Imperial Palace. Although Sima Mansion, Situ Mansion, and Sikong Mansion are all very magnificent, and they occupy a large area, they are really small compared to the imperial palace next to them, and even the three mansions together are not one-tenth the size of the imperial palace
It can be seen how terrifying the scale of the Luoyang Palace is, you must know that the current palace is only the south palace in the north and south palaces, and the north palace that will be built in the future will be slightly larger than the south palace after many expansions. It can be said that in the inner city of Luoyang, the area of the North and South Palaces is larger than all the other areas combined.
